Feb 11, 2007 Pitch black with a stable, small head. It’s a truly nice stout with a wonderful aroma with notes of roasted malt, a hint of smoke and chocolate. The flavour is smooth and nice with notes of roasted malt, coffee, caramel, licorice, hops and a hint of smoke. The finish has a nice bitterness. Very harmonic and balanced!

Feb 2, 2007 Aroma of roasted caramel malts, coffee, rye, raisins, prunes and some vanilla. Really good aroma. Clear, dark brown coloured with a thin, beige head. Taste is sweet and more bitter towards the finish. Finish is somewhat hoppy, dry and sparkling. Roasted, dark malts, coffee, sugar, rye and prunes. Nice brew, but balance could be better.

Jan 26, 2007 7.0% ABV Pours a very dark almost black color. Head is small, tan colored and effervescent. It diminishes quickly and leaves a diminute lacing.
Aroma is very malty, full of dark fruits like plums, prunes, raisins and layers of molasses and licorice. Some coffe and roasted cereal notes get really clear after some agitation. I need an incense with this smell.
Flavor is strong, bold, intense as an Imperial Stout should be. Big bittersweet character, consequent with the aroma. Plums, raisins, prunes, dates and sweet chocolate. A nice backup of licorice and brown sugar to give some more sweetness. Nice.
Body is medium...this is a letdown. Oily texture, low carbonation. The finish is well alcoholic but nice. Good long aftertaste. A nice Imperial Stout that needs more body.
Many thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-2778.htm> for this bottle.

Jan 19, 2007 bottle hand carried from Sweden by my dear wife. Pours near black or humus -brown with a light brown head. Resinous with roasted malt and walnuts, mocha fudge and hazelnut truffles (the dark chocolate kind). A bit of burn that is covered by creaminess. Bitter but not so much that it loses the malt. Clean finisher - I like that in an IS.
